Trump Does The
Unthinkable by Liz Crokin
As an entertainment journalist, I've had the
opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him
I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was
running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot
of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous
story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines
and would've been a huge feather in my cap.
Instead,
I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking
businessman.
On
top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a
heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.
Since the media has
failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put
together some of the acts of
kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed
or fallen on deaf ears.

In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after
her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the
auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump
decided to take action after he saw Hill's
pleas for help in news reports.
•
In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish
child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he
had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief stricken parents
contacted Trump for
help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los
Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.
•
In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp
Lejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their
families. However, the Marines were told that a mistakehad been made and an
aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure
date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips
from North Carolina to Miami to safelyreturn the Gulf War Marines to their
loved ones.
•
In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in
got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him
for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife.
A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid
off your mortgage.
•
In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach , Florida ,
accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because
it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who was the Anti-Defamation League
Director at the time, said
Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its
seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a
trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and began admitting
Jews and blacks.
•
In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with
Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said
the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he
contacted Maury and gifted the
little girl and her family with a very generous check.
•
In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in
Chicago , Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy
City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures
to ensure Hudson and her
family members were safe during such a difficult time.
•
In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the
edge of a bridge staring at traffic below as he drove by He stopped the bus,
got out and put his arm around the woman and savedher life by convincing her to
not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a
check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.
•
In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent
seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the
US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make
onephone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump
opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.
•
In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked
Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as
Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself
struggling with an incurable illness
and during her
darkest days she explained that she received a handwritten letter
from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know. She said the
opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately provided
her Mexican-American son with a full-ride
to college.

Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a
statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and
a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and
addiction for years.
Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his
entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times.
Donald
Trump's kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch
the lives of people from every sex, race and religion. When Trump sees someone
in need, he wants to help. Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview
if he'd run for president.
He said: If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally,
because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country.
That
day has come.
Trump sees that
America is in need and he wants to help How unthinkable!On the other hand. have
you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own
resources?Now that's really unthinkable! Might be worth passing on!!!
